Psalm 101

Jimmy Lau Psa 101:2   I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.  This psalm describes the rightful conduct of an Israelite king. It is applicable to us too. We can divide this psalm into two sections. In the first section (v.1-4), the Psalmist declares the principles on which he intends to act in his private life. In the second section (v.5-8), he declares that he will choose the right kind of friends and ministers.   I will walk within my house with a perfect heart  – It is easier for most folks to walk with a perfect heart in the Church, or even in the world, than in their own families; don’t you think so? It is easier to be a Mr. Nice Guy outside than at home.   David intends to start the perfect walk from his house. How will he do it? 1. It begins with his worship : “ I will sing of mercy and judgment ” (v.1). True piety begins at home. If there is no piety at home...

The Reward

圖片
from: TFTW Bible College   As Jesus was preparing his Apostles for his departing from this earth, they were saddened by the thought of Jesus leaving, but Jesus said to them, “ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ” ( John 14:1-3 ) Paul was nearing the end of his life, and he said, “ For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ” ( 2 Timothy 4:6-8 ) If we do these simple things, we will receive the sam...

Sinning After Salvation

圖片
From: TFTW Bible College              But, now someone says, “I have heard, and I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and I repented of my sins, and I confessed, and then I was baptized. What if I do all of these steps, but, I still make mistakes and I still sin? Do I need to do all of these things again? Do I need to go through these steps every time I sin?” The answer to these questions is also found in God’s Word. In  Acts 8  there was a man named Simon, who was a magician in Samaria. He had been tricking the people and fooling them into giving him their money. But Philip went and preached to him, and to the people of Samaria. Simon heard what was said, he had a change of heart, he repented of his sinful lifestyle, and he was baptized. But then he made a mistake and he sinned. Peter, who had come down to Samaria, saw the whole thing. The Christian continues to repent of sins,  confess them to God,  and ...

Shared by Tasha & Gretchen  based on "Evangelistic Effort" (author: Roger D. Cambell) 🙅 Do not say:  I believe ... / I think... / I feel... / My church teaches...  🙅 Do not become angry and speak loudly. 🙅 Do not lose your composure. 🙅 Do not say:  We know what the Bible says... 😃 Say: Let's open the Bible and see what the Bible says about it... Would you like to see how the Bible answers the question?  You know what God wants you to do, now you need to do the right thing.  😃  Show them what they want... like they want  peace from God .

Be Baptized

圖片
From: https://truthfortheworld.org/education/mod/lesson/view.php?id=6&pageid=8 Be Baptized Remember those people on Pentecost? Remember, they had heard the sermon, and they believed that Jesus really was the Son of God. Then they said to Peter and the Apostles “What shall we do?” Do you remember what Peter told them? He said, “ Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. ” ( Acts 2:38 ) Not only were they told to repent, but they were told to be baptized. The word “ for ” in  Acts 2:38  is the Greek word “Eis” and it means “In order to.” Peter was saying, “Be baptized in order to have your sins washed away.” He said, you have climbed almost all the steps, but, you haven’t reached the top step yet. So, here is what you need to do. After you have repented, you must also be baptized. Do you want your sins to be washed away? Then you must be baptized, immersed, and buried underwater. There is another man in the Bible that we should learn about, his name wa...
